Mary
A                 D
You're covered in roses
                  A
You're covered in ashes
                  E
You're covered in rain
                  A
You're covered in baby's
                  D
You're covered in slashes
                  A
You're covered in wilderness
                  E
You're covered in stains
         A
You cast aside the sheets
          D
You cast aside the shroud
   A                                 E
Of another man who serves the world proud
        A                               D
And you greet another son and you lose another one
        A                    E
On some sunny day and always you stay

Mary
F#m                 D                          A
Jesus said mother I couldn't stay another day longer
   F#m                         D              A
He flies right by and leaves a kiss upon her face
          F#m                     D                      A
While the angels were singing his praises in a blaze of glory
           B7                                 D
Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place
   A
Oh Mary
             D
She moves behind me
                A                 E
She leaves her fingerprints everywhere
               A
Every time the snow drifts
               D
Every way the sand shifts
              A                         E
Even when the night lifts she's always there
F#m                 D                          A
Jesus said mother I couldn't stay another day longer
    F#m                        D              A
He flies right by and leaves a kiss upon her face
          F#m                     D                      A
While the angels were singing his praises in a blaze of glory
           B7                                 D
Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place
A
Oh Mary
                  D
You're covered in roses
                  A
You're covered in ruins
                  E
You're covered in secrets
                   A
You're covered in tree tops
           D
Covered in birds
               A                        E
Who can sing a million songs without any words
           A
You cast aside the sheets
          D
You cast aside the shroud
   A                                 E
Of another man who served the world proud
              A                        D
And you greet another son and you lose another one
        A             E
On some sunny day and always you stay
